Pre-Conference Publication workshop
Ethical, Inclusive & Human-Centered Education Research Publishing
This topic examines how education researchers can produce and publish scholarly work that is ethically responsible, inclusive, and centered on the experiences and well-being of learners, educators, and communities. It emphasizes research practices that go beyond procedural ethics by considering fairness, representation, accessibility, cultural sensitivity, transparency, and the responsible use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.
The session can also explore how researchers can strengthen the integrity and social relevance of their publications by involving diverse perspectives, avoiding bias and exclusion, protecting participants, and communicating findings responsibly. Particular attention can be given to equitable authorship, inclusive research design, ethical data practices, AI-assisted research and writing, open and accessible scholarship, and the responsibilities of researchers, reviewers, editors, and publishers in building a more trustworthy and inclusive education research ecosystem.
